Minerals                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Minerals are classified according to the amount your body needs, each one is affected by the others through a complex metabolic interrelationship, either working in conjunction with or opposing each other.

What do minerals do?                                                                                                                                                                               

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Unless an underlying problem exists that may cause a deficiency essential nutrients usually may be obtained from a healthy lifestyle diet. Supplements should never be taken without a complete review of the person.

The illustration is not a complete picture of the complex synergistic relationship between minerals, it is intended to demonstrate a few of  the interactions between minerals thus showing how complex, difficult and essential balancing minerals is.

 

Minerals that mutually antagonise each other

Minerals that work in synergy

 

The importance of ensuring that the correct ratio between minerals is maintained cannot be emphasised enough.

Mineral deficiency in the body can lead to ill health, and a mineral ratio imbalance will do the same. Any excessive consumption of a single mineral will antagonise other minerals. The resulting imbalance may cause an interlinked chain of mineral imbalance to spread throughout the body.
